ESP32-CAM Development Board

The ESP32-CAM is a low-cost ESP32-based development board with an onboard camera and is very small in size. It is an ideal solution for IoT applications, prototypes constructions, spy cameras and DIY projects.

The board integrates WiFi, traditional Bluetooth and low power BLE with 2 high-performance 32-bit LX6 CPUs. It adopts 7-stage pipeline architecture, on-chip sensor, Hall sensor and temperature sensor, and its main frequency adjustment ranges from 80MHz to 240MHz.

Fully compliant with WiFi 802.11b/g/n/e/i and Bluetooth 4.2 standards, it can be used as a master mode to build an independent network controller, or as a slave to other host MCUs to add networking capabilities to existing devices.

The ESP32-CAM can be widely used in various IoT applications. It is suitable for home smart devices, industrial wireless control, wireless monitoring, QR wireless identification, wireless positioning system signals and other IoT applications.

Notes

• Please ensure that the power supply for the module is at least 5V 2A, otherwise maybe there may be water ripple appearing on the image
• ESP32 GPIO32 pin is used to control the power of the camera, so when the camera is in working, pull GPIO32 pin low
• Since the IO pin is connected to camera XCLK, it should be left floating, and do not connect it to high/low level
• The product has been equipped with default firmware before leaving the factory. We cannot provide additional software for you to download. So, please be cautious if you choose to burn other firmware!
